Fire crews from Derbyshire were called to attend a large fire this week – which saw residents evacuated from their homes.
On Monday, August 8, crews from Alfreton and Ripley were deployed to a large grass fire just over the Nottinghamshire border in Kirkby.
The fire had also spread to a nearby power line and hedgerows. Residents of nearby properties were evacuated amid fears that the flames could reach their homes.
The quick intervention from firefighters, however, was enough to ensure that no homes were damaged in the blaze.
